Scrooge and Marley is a dreadful 2001 adaptation of the famous Dickens story. The only reason to watch this one is if you need something that's heavy-handed with the Christian faith angle and if you don't mind misplaced and poorly played humorous elements. Seriously, there are so many excellent adaptations and plenty of perfectly fine ones. Why watch a bad version? I didn't finish it.
But you can see for yourself if you like:

I'll stick with the 1951 black & white; A Christmas Carol with Alister Simms. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a favorite. We think it's one of the best :)
Delete...I wonder if Dickens could have guessed that his story would be so popular?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. He wrote so many that've been forgotten.
DeleteThat's too bad. Isn't Dean Jones the actor who used to be in old Disney movies like the Love Bug?
ReplyDeleteYes, he is. It's a shame this was like it was.
DeleteI'll take your word for it and skip it
ReplyDeleteYeah, so many others to pick from.
DeleteUhhh I will pass on this one. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteIt's proof that even the best story can be ruined.
DeleteI won´t give it a go then! Many a remake is ... hopelessly bad, I wonder why they do that. Old folks who know the original won´t buy it...
ReplyDeleteThere have been many, many wonderful film adaptations of this story. This particular one just happens to be dreadful.
DeleteThanks for the head's up!
ReplyDeleteIt was a disappointment. Glad I could spare you the trouble.
DeleteThanks for letting me know it's that bad. I won't even feel guilty about passing on it.
ReplyDeleteWe can watch the good ones instead :)
